And, you gotta check out Steve Marcus on Soprano and Tenor Sax, and Barry Keiner on Piano.
This was probably Buddy's best band ever.
There's a beautiful version of Round Midnight (Steve Marcus on Sax) just after the 31 minute mark. If you know the history of the BR Big Band, the Sax solo is even more evidently brilliant, as it is an ongoing conversation Steve Marcus had with the brilliant Monk song over the course of years; endless reinventions of the melody and the melodies within the melody.
Steve Marcus is an under-appreciated genius in the history of Jazz Saxophone.
Birdland is right after Round Midnight. It is smokin'. Steve Marcus kicks ass on the Soprano Sax.
